It took less than two hours for the "Wahlburgers" premiere party on Jan. 22 to sell out. The burger bash is being held on the night the reality show debuts. It airs at 10:30 p.m. on the A&E network. Money raised from the party will benefit the Dorchester Youth Collaborative.

The show will feature Chef Paul Wahlberg and two of his brothers, actors Mark and Donnie Wahlberg. They own Wahlburgers and Alma Nove, both at the Hingham Shipyard. "It's not 'Jersey Shore' reality, " Mark Wahlberg said Tuesday night on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno." "It's a docu-series about building a family business."

The show will look at the family’s humble beginnings and take a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the challenges of running a fledgling family-owned restaurant. Mark (“Ted”) and Donnie (“Blue Bloods”) will lend some star power, but the network press release paints the show as older – and “most talented” – brother Paul’s chance to shine.

"It's really a great American story of coming from nothing and building a business and building a brand," Mark Wahlberg said.
